I agree about the purple color, but other than that, I love this toy too much to really care.

Finally I have the ORIGINAL Galvatron...in CARTOON ACCURATE colors to boot. The old toy had just the same sound effect on three different pitches so it''s not missed, though I would''ve liked it if they had replaced the laser blast sound with one from the animated series. That would''ve been pure awesome.

The last complaint I have of this toy (though it''s more fault of the original design, not the reissue) is the cannon base that sticks onto his arm in robot mode; I never did like having to set aside parts for one mode. I like it better when a removable part can be used in both modes (like Armada Jetfire''s shuttle bottom can be stuck onto his arm like a shield).

I was a little harsh on my first thoughts about this toy. After watching TFTM and Season 3 over again recently, I can see why Takara decided to use lavender (

Just got mine, and I love it! I never had the original, so maybe that helps. I didn''t think to expect Japanese movie quotes, but it makes sense. I like hearing them, but I wish I knew what they said. Anyway, I think it looks great, and enjoy the upgraded sound chip. It fills the "Galvatron that looks like the movie and cartoon" niche quite nicely. He''s even got more articulation than I expected him to have.

I just received mine yesterday and am indeed disappointed to hear the new sound effects chip. It''s a great toy, but it doesn''t fill the hole left by the original I used to own. Looks like I''ll still have to hunt down an original.

I don''t know why Takara insists on using this lavender color instead of a darker purple. Maybe somebody is color-blind or needs to watch the movie and Season 3 over again. >.< It''s has the same lavender color as the small PVC figures and Superlink Galvatron General. I''m tempted to take it apart and re-dye the lavender parts in darker purple using RIT. Otherwise it''s a great toy. :)

My only complaint is that the "upgraded" sound effects eliminated at least two (or three, if the laser sound is new) of the original sound effects. That was one of my favorite parts of playing with the toy as a kid, especially with the weird sounds you could get by sticking the switch "in between" positions.

I think the figure looks much better than the original grey giant ;) That said, I hate to be a complainer, but I feel the light, almost pink shade of the purple is a real let down. Galvatron has a lot of grey on his thighs that was left out completely :S Now his legs are all purple except for the giant boots. Those grey areas are parts of the toy mold! Why not make them grey?

I''ve seen some great custom repaints of this figure that I love. My pesonal favorite Glavatron is Galvatron General from Super-Link. Energon Galvatron is a close second.

It''s awesome! I already ordered mine by the end of last week. I''ll be getting it hopefully around the beginning of next week by Christmas time. It''s reminds me of the time my mom bought me one for Christmas back in 1986. It was 19 years ago. Does it also have the grey with lines thigh stickers too?
